Doors open – 12..30pm
Event Starts – 1pm
Events Ends – 3pm

Every attendee will be given a group number, and after we’ve all admired the cakes, each group will be given 5 minutes to grab as many cake slices as you can to put in a pizza box. Then? Well we spend the afternoon enjoying cake and eachother’s company!

Our VIP judges, members of Vintage Vibes Community, will award prizes for the most exciting and unusual cakes.

No cake left behind! Once time’s up, any remaining cake becomes a free-for-all—so pace yourself wisely!

Enjoy an afternoon of fun, games, connection and cake, all to tackle isolation in older people in Edinburgh!
